CListCtrl - get the length of the item text

Question

I'm deriving from CListCtrl. Is there a way to find out how long the text contained in item i subitem 0 (first column) is? That info is required by GetItemText().

Answer 1

There are 2 overloads for GetItemText(), you should use the one with 2 params. Like this:

CString txt = CListCtrl::GetItemText(item, column);
